MediaWiki uses a number of nonstandard codes which do not validate
according to the IANA language subtag registry. Some of them have
the wrong semantics entirely: MediaWiki's `sr-ec` variant maps to
BCP 47 `sr-EC` which is "Serbian as used in Ethiopia" (!).
Extend LanguageCode::bcp47() to map our nonstandard codes to valid
BCP 47 language codes. Export the mapping so that it can be used
in JavaScript's corresponding mw.language.bcp47() implementation
as well, and return the standard BCP 47 codes in the siteinfo
API.
Thanks to TheDJ (I10b4473c7e53f027812bbccf26bb47aec15fddfd) and
Fomafix (I93efc190714ba76247d30ba49fc21ae872fc3555) for previous
attempts at this!
Also removed a fixme for the name of 'Twi', dating back to 2004
(f59c3be23b) -- checking
tw.wikipedia.org it certainly appears that the autonym of 'Twi'
is correctly 'Twi'.
Tracking bugs for invalid language codes are T125073 and T145535.
Discussion of zh-XX => zh-HanX-XX mapping is at T198419.
This is a replay of an earlier merged patch,
8380f0173e, which had to be reverted
because it caused regressions in the Babel extension (T199941).
